Thank you David Lombardo for the in-depth treatment here!
As a new Assembly staffer the tales from a coup series was an amazing way to get the full day in day out story of what went down 10 years ago. I hope more content like that is on its way!
Great way to hear directly from leaders across New York on issues that matter. Highly recommend.
This is a very thoughtful and thorough podcast. David Lombardo does a great job. Recently they have started doing dramatic readings of transcripts. I encourage this podcast to continue these readings. They are informative and entertaining.
It wasn’t my intention to devour all 7 episodes of “Tales from the Coup” in a single sitting, but that’s what happened. The genius is in Lombardo’s editing, and in his seamless narration of a complex saga that he manages to present linearly and grippingly. Bravo. Wow.
